A survey of Germans commissioned by Continental found that the majority believe regular health checks are a good idea to gauge people’s suitability for driving.
Nearly two-thirds of about 2,000 surveyed Germans indicate such tests would be sensible.
The survey was conducted for Continental by research and data analytics firm YouGov. It found that the older the respondent, the less likely he or she was to agree with the idea – about half of those older than 70 did while 75% of respondents ages 18 to 29 favored the concept.
Answering the more pinpointed question of whether driver’s licenses should be renewed only if the person passes a health check, 73% of respondents over 70 said no while more than two-thirds of respondents younger than 50 said yes.
